Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

We were still in the manor, but this time we were not chatting in the living room, but in the reception room of the manor. Prince William did not come again, but Gerard Gronav came.

If you mention Gerard alone, the general impression among the public or business circles is that he is a very successful businessman and a large landowner.

This person owns a lot of land on five continents, and a large area of ​​land. He is engaged in minerals, oil fields and natural gas business. He is definitely a big boss who can do such resource business.

Insert an app: a perfect replica of the old version of the book-chasing artifact and replaceable source APP--Mimi Reading.

But today Jeld is sitting in the living room of the manor, obviously not because of his status as a business tycoon, but because of his status as a royal white glove.

In addition to Gerard, there were also a few older men.

The old man sitting on the left, looking at a cigar and smiling, is called Sandway. He was the former chairman of Citibank and is known as the father of finance on Wall Street.

Sitting below him was a tall, bearded man with a gray beard and his eyes lowered with a sullen look. This man was called Picken, the president of BP Capital Management on Wall Street.

On the right hand side sits Gerd, and below Gerd sits an upright old man wearing a formal suit and leather shoes, with a friendly smile on his face.

If you didn't know his identity, at first glance you would have thought he was a staff member interviewing a client. This person's name is Charles, the founder of Index Investment.

The way he dressed was a habit left over from when he was a stockbroker. Compared with older people who like to wear loose and comfortable clothes, Charles has been dressing like this for work these years.

In addition to these four people, Dean was also sitting in the living room.

The door to the living room is closed, the black tea on the table is steaming, and everyone has an Honor Generation mobile phone in front of them. The entire living room is very quiet.

Jelder looked around, took a sip of coffee from the cup, and then took a long puff of cigarette.

He likes to drink coffee very much, and he also likes to drink this kind of strong freshly ground coffee, and he is very addicted to cigarettes. Sandway just takes small sips of his cigar, and only smokes half of the cigar.

There were already a lot of cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of Jeld, and he was still smoking a cigarette in his mouth. He shook the cigarette box and found that there were no cigarettes in it.

Jerde crumpled the cigarette box into a ball with his palm, reached out and opened another box of cigarettes, then spat out a circle and said.

"Is there no room for negotiation? Your conditions are too harsh."

The others remained silent and did not speak, obviously they all had the same idea as Jeld.

To be honest, as a big boss, some of them have cooperated with Chinese people, and some have not. But regardless of whether they have or not, they have never thought that one day they will be in a weak position when they cooperate with a Chinese.

The opponent held a butcher knife in their hand, and they stretched their necks and placed them on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered. This feeling was very unpleasant, but there was nothing they could do.

"This is the condition for cooperation. If it doesn't work, forget it. I will get some new mobile phones to give away, or after China and Asia start distributing goods, I will wait for others to come." Yang Dongxu leaned on the back of his chair.

He rarely smokes, but he also has a cigarette on his finger. Although the negotiation fell into a stalemate not long after the beginning, such negotiation is really energy-consuming. If he doesn't hold a cigarette in his hand and takes an occasional puff, he always feels nervous.

My head hurts.

"No one will be willing to cooperate with you under your conditions." It was Picken who spoke.

"That's because you underestimated the greed of human nature." Yang Dongxu chuckled, "I know you think that my smartphone interview is over, and smartphones from other manufacturers are probably not far away. For example, Apple is very early.

We have already launched a smartphone project before.

But what I want to say is that in the next six months, or even a year, I will be the only one with smartphones in the world. And those of you who have used smartphones know very well how much changes the advent of smartphones will bring to the mobile phone industry.

In the end, if it doesn't work out, I can look for cooperation with Nokia, Motorola, or Ericsson. If I follow the conditions you mentioned, why don't I look for cooperation with these big companies?

By cooperating with them, global distribution can be completed immediately. They only need to replace the mobile phones in the existing mobile phone stores with Honor smartphones. It’s a very simple operation, isn’t it?”

Yang Dongxu's words made everyone's expressions calm down again.

The conditions proposed by Jerde and others are the conditions that Europe and the United States are accustomed to doing business with China, which is to take the biggest advantage and act like I am taking care of you.

If you don't cooperate, you will be blocked by technology. This kind of thing has been done in Europe, America, and even Japan and South Korea before. Because it requires technology, China can only tolerate such grievances.

But things are different now. Yang Dongxu is the boss of smartphones, and he is the only one in the world who can produce smartphones. If he wants to cooperate like this, why should Yang Dongxu go around the corner and go directly to Motorola and Ericsson?

I heard that these two companies can kill Nokia and crush Nokia into the dust. These two companies are definitely more active than looking at beautiful women.

"There is a more important point." After finishing speaking, Yang Dongxu tapped his fingers on the table when no one responded, "Even if the production of smartphones catches up later, what does that have to do with you? For example, maybe in the end

, and Apple is the fastest one to catch up. Can you get a share of the money when its smartphone comes out?”

Everyone in the reception room couldn't help but look gloomy, and Dean couldn't help but frown.

This is the important reason why these people did not just throw away the harsh cooperation conditions proposed by Yang Dongxu.

Currently, there are only a few companies in the world that can barely keep up with the pace of smartphones, such as Apple, Samsung, and maybe Motorola and Ericsson.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If Nokia transforms quickly, it is estimated that it can keep up, but as the current boss of the mobile phone industry, smartphones have the biggest impact on it. Can it recover?

Two theories.

But whether they can concentrate and keep up or not, these have nothing to do with them.

When Apple launched the smartphone project, the profits from the project had already been divided up. Otherwise, if you think Apple's development was not as good as that of the previous generation, why could it continue to suck blood from Microsoft?

There are people standing behind people, and it is precisely because there are people standing behind them that no one here will have a dime to see how Apple develops in the future.

Similar things are happening with other mobile phone manufacturers. The benefits that should be divided have already been divided up, unless the company dies directly.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful he becomes in the future, most of the benefits will belong to the big guys behind him, and they won't be able to get involved if they want to.

Therefore, if they want to enter the smartphone game, they can only find mobile phone companies whose profits have not been divided up by the big guys, and so far, the only company that meets this condition is Yang Dongxu.

There may be companies like him in the future, but at that time all the major capitals knew about the future of smartphones. They had no first-mover advantage and could only go head-to-head with the big capitals. It was hard to predict who would win and who would lose.

"If you change your nationality to the United States and move the headquarters of Honor Mobile to the United States, I can agree to all your conditions." Charles said.

"If I did this, why would I need you?" Yang Dongxu simply rolled his eyes.

Isn’t this what America’s economic policy is?

You must give him a share of the profitable business, otherwise he will try his best to sanction you.

If Yang Dongxu is willing to share part of the benefits with the US government, then why does he bother to come to the UK for this negotiation? Once his nationality is changed, everything will be solved as soon as the company headquarters signs the contract.

Even those investments on the Internet are not too risky now if they are all put into one basket.

The reception room fell into silence again.

After a while, Yang Dongxu pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray in front of him, "Not only is it a smartphone, I also have shares in some Internet companies.

If the smartphone cooperation is successful, we can join hands to take these Internet companies public. As long as the operation is successful, the Internet projects we operate will not be worse than Google currently.

From now on, I will only have a few of you here in my circle, and I will be responsible for product operations, company management, and future company strategy. We can sign a betting agreement.

If the projects I manage do not reach the expected revenue and scale, I can reduce my holdings and give them to you."

"Internet project?" The people present raised their eyebrows in surprise. They didn't know why Yang Dongxu suddenly mentioned the Internet when he was clearly talking about the smartphone project.

"Internet project." Yang Dongxu nodded very seriously, as if he didn't realize that he was off topic, "You can first learn about Weibo, which is currently very popular in the European and American markets.

The projects I'm talking about are related to these two types of Internet products. As for the future of these two products, I will only guarantee that they will be better than them, and will never be worse than them.

The Internet project is bundled with the smartphone project. I have no interest in whether you have shares in Samsung or whether you can work for a certain consortium.

In the future, cooperation will not involve arms, high-end technology, or politics. It will be a simple business cooperation. As for what you generate with the proceeds from business cooperation, it has nothing to do with me." The corner of Yang Dongxu's mouth turned upward, revealing a smile full of deep meaning.

Everyone present raised their eyebrows, including Dean and Jeld.

It is true that everyone here is a big boss, but they are not the top bosses. They have financial groups above them.

For example, Gerard has a royal family above him. Although Dean is the head of the Spencer family, the Spencer family is not the top family in the UK. There are other big bosses above him.

Not to mention Picken and others. Although they are Wall Street tycoons, they still have a consortium above their heads, and they are even working for the consortium now.

It's just that compared to other tool workers who work for the consortium, they already have a certain degree of freedom as they are already big bosses.

But now they are just individual customers standing at the gambling table placing bets, and they cannot sit at the gambling table.

And Yang Dongxu's hint is that as long as this cooperation is done well, it is possible for them to sit on the table.

This is not a pie in the sky, but it is really possible, and Google is a living example.
